"I _hereby_ express my happiness", i.e. "by performing this very
speech act, I am expressing my happiness".

It doesn't make a whole lot of difference whether we want to call them
true/false, honest/dishonest, genuine/fake, felicitous/infelicitous or
whatever. The point of avoiding true/false is that for example you
can't use "na" to convert a fake "ui" into a genuine one, like you can
use it to convert a false statement into a true one, and the same
applies to other truth functional operators like logical connectives.
It does make sense to distinguish between the truth value of a
proposition and the genuinity? genuiness? of an expression.

lie
noun
1.
a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an
intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2.
something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture:

A fake expression of intention can certainly count as a lie in sense 2.
